​Conyers is the only city in Rockdale County, Georgia, and is am Atlanta suburb. The city lies twenty-four miles east of Downtown Atlanta and is part of the Atlanta Metroplex.

​Conyers is the county seat of Rockdale County and is home to the Georgia International Horse Park. Originally the land was planned to be used to expand Rockdale County’s wastewater treatment system and other ideas that the City Manager and the City Council were trying to think of, but on September 18, 1990 it was decided Atlanta was going to be hosting the 1996 Summer Olympics. There was a change of plans and an equestrian task force formed to have the park developed under cooperation with the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG). The Georgia International Horse Park became a reality when it was sanctioned by ACOG on October 21, 1991.
 
For the Netflix series Stranger Things, some of the outdoor scenes were filmed in the Georgia International Horse Park.

• Cleaning- Sweeping leaves and other debris that collects should be done to avoid creating space for standing water or clogging storm drains. Pressure washing of the parking lot is also recommended to be done at least twice a year. 

• Pothole Spray Patching- The content is a usually a hot emulsion of asphalt and crushed aggregate. The hot mixture is ejected into potholes for repair.

• Reroute the Traffic- Once the application of sealcoating has been carried out, temporarily change where traffic can go for at least a day so the surface can dry out. 

• Consider Hiring a Professional– Maintenance can be done by yourself; however, for effective maintenance that lasts longer, a professional should be hired to maintain your parking lot in good shape. 

• Sealcoating- Fresh coats make your parking lot look nicer and help protect pavement surfaces against oil, salt, water, gasoline, and ultraviolet rays. 

​

• Check the Storm Drains- Drains should be opened and checked for blockage that can cause long term damage. ​

• A dark color for asphalt makes it hold heat for a longer time than concrete. This added heat is very useful in areas with snowfall since it helps to melt the snow and ice. This reduces the cost of buying more salt or snowploughs to go over the parking lot with whereas bitter cold makes concrete brittle and become prone to cracking and breaking. 

• Asphalt’s dark color provides good contrast against a white commercial building. Concrete looks better against a darker building, providing more contrast in that scenario. Concrete surfaces can get painted however, and this can ensure the matching of a parking lot with its corresponding building. 

• Concrete is composed of readily available materials. For instance, sand and gravel are easy to harvest with minimal disruption to the environment hence causing less pollution than asphalt which comes from petroleum that is not available everywhere. Drilling also causes severe environmental damage, but asphalt can be recycled, and therefore it is considered a greener technology.

Parking lot maintenance is crucial and provides the benefits mentioned above. Following the mentioned tips will your parking lot attract customers.  ​

Austell is a city in Cobb County, Georgia. It is part of the Atlanta municipal area. Austell was incorporated in 1885. The town was named after General Alfred Austell (1814–1881), in gratitude of his endeavors to bring important railways to the South. General Austell also established the Atlanta National Bank, which was later renamed First Atlanta. The bank system eventually became part of Wachovia and later Wells Fargo through various merges and purchases. Take a look at a couple things to do in Austell below.
 

• Visit the 2,549 acre Sweetwater Creek State Park. One of the wooded trails follows the stream to the remains of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company, a textile mill burned down during the Civil War. The park is named after Sweetwater Creek which flows through it.

 

• Ride some thrill rides at the 290 acre theme park Six Flags over Georgia. The park features character and themes from various Warner Bros. properties such as DC comics and Looney Tunes. It opened to the public in 1967. Popular rides include but are not limited to Twisted Cyclone, Superman: Ultimate Flight, Goliath, The Great American Scream Machine, and Dare Devil Dive Coaster.

Parking lot maintenance refers to the repair work and treatment done to prevent further damage to parking lots and prolong the life span of the pavement. 
​
All parking lots whether in grocery stores, commercial plazas, public buildings and facilities, or residential suites that have a parking lot used on a day to day basis require maintenance to increase parking lot longevity and safety. 

• Grading- Maintenance on pavements. 

• Mechanics- Maintenance of paving equipment to ensure it is in good condition. 

​

• Parking Lot Striping- Maintenance done on paint lines and signs to ensure they are clear and visible. ​

Parking lot maintenance is essential for the following reasons: 

• Reduces liability 

• Ensures compliance with the regulations 

• Extends the life span of a parking lot 

• Maximizes the parking space available 

• Enhances safety 

​

• Increases attraction by customers ​

• Having routine visual inspection- It is advised that persons in charge of the parking lot occasionally be taking a walk around the parking lot to be able to identify where cracks, standing water, or a pool of oil may be present. These problems require instant action to repair cracks, clear drains, or wash the oils off the surface to avoid long damage that they cause. 

• Clearing catch basins- Catch basins are responsible for water drainage. Leaves, dirt, debris, and trash can clog it hence damaging it by forcing water to fill up to the surface. Discourage people from littering in the drains to reduce the risk of this. 

• Rotate parking areas- Using parking lots over and over makes them degrade with time since they lose their initial strength to support large vehicles. This causes dips in asphalt, creating sinkholes. 

• Use line marking and signage- The signs and painted markings need repainting whenever they fade to increase visibility. This enhances traffic flow by guiding both motorists and pedestrians to easily access and use the parking lot. 

​

• Clean oil spills immediately- Usually, a parking lot can be used by anybody. The owner does not dictate the type of vehicles that can park there. That includes leaky vehicles. This is why you should carry out occasional inspections as mentioned above.
